Update at 6:50 p.m. — Nearly 1,000 Dominion customers are without power in Arlington, according to the utility company’s website. Most of the outages are in the county’s far northern neighborhoods along the border with McLean, which is experiencing widespread outages after the storms.

Update at 6:15 p.m. — A second line of storms is arriving and has prompted a second Severe Thunderstorm Warning, below, which is in effect until 7 p.m.


Arlington, Falls Church and the entire D.C. area is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch tonight (Sunday).

The watch is in effect from now until 11 p.m. Large hail, damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning are all possible with storms that will likely cross the region later today, following a sweltering afternoon.


As if it wasn’t humid enough already, Thursday will be even more sweltering as temperatures rise this afternoon.

A Heat Advisory has been issued for Arlington. That means hazardous conditions for those working outside and no outdoor recess for Arlington Public Schools students.
